"White lips, pale face, breathing in the snowflakes." "It's too cold outside, for angels to fly." Not many people can sing these words with the same amount of heart and feeling as this one amazing, talented, English singer I have in mind. How many people can say they've helped write songs for one of the world's most popular bands today? How many people can say they left their homeland to go live on a stranger's couch in an unknown country to record their first album? How many people can say they've been nominated for "Song of the Year" at the Grammy Awards after having performed that same song with Sir Elton John? Practically no one, except for Edward Christopher Sheeran, or as most people would know him by, Ed Sheeran.

When most people think of a role model nowadays, they think of people like Ellen DeGeneres or Barrack Obama. But when I think of a role model, I think of Ed Sheeran. His background is incredible. He was born in a small town called Halifax in England and moved to another small town called Framlingham where he raised and learned music. After recording his first few EPs there, he moved to London in 2008 to play gigs starting off in small venues and for sometimes as little as 5 people. After playing more and more gigs as the years passed, he left his old management company and moved to Los Angeles in 2010. He played open mic nights all over the city until his talent was spotted by Jamie Foxx, who was so impressed that he offered Sheeran the use of his recording studio and the run of his Hollywood home for the rest of his stay.

Throughout 2010, Ed began to be seen by more and more people all over the world on the internet through Youtube, including The Independent newspaper and Sir Elton John. After releasing 3 more independently released EPs, including one that reached number 2 in the iTunes chart without any promotion or label, Ed was signed to Asylum/Atlantic Records. 6 weeks after appearing on TV to perform his debut...

“Achieving Success”
“Success is like a ladder, no one has ever climbed a ladder with both hands in his pockets.” –Arnold Schwarzenegger
Do you know what success is? How can you say that you’re already successful? Are there ways on how to achieve success?
Success is all that we want. To be successful in life, to be successful in our career, to be successful in everything we do. But have you done your part in achieving those goals in life? Are those efforts of yours enough to be on the place you want to be? For you to achieve that success, you must strive hard and work hard. It is not like a seed that will bloom once you’ve planted it underground. The road to success is not smooth. It is a rocky road full of bumps and cracks. You may stumble and fall while chasing that dream but that doesn’t mean you have to stop. Rise again and continue. You may never know, it is just one step away from you.
Success is not only making your dreams come true, it means that you are also happy with what you’re doing. You can say that you are successful when you are already satisfied with what you have and not asking for more. There are many ways to success, it is just for you to choose on which way you will go.
Success, architects cannot renovate it. Businesses cannot incorporate it. Engineers cannot calculate it. Scientists cannot formulate it. Only YOU can generate it.

...Preparation outline for Persuasive Speech
Specific purpose: To persuade my audience to support the legislation to provide everyone with four weeks paid vacation
Central Idea: Adopted paid vacation legislation in the USA will help us to stay healthy, avoid stress and bond with our family.
Introduction
Attention:
I. Do you know that more than 147 countries, including all developed countries, now have a law that guaranties paid vacation to every employee? But the United States is the only industrial country in the world which doesn’t have any legislation about it. What is more, from 1980 to present day we moved from 11th place in the world to 42nd based on vacation longevity, and we spend almost 2 months more at work each year than Western Europeans.
II. I am personally also affected by absence of vacation legislation. I have two part time jobs, but unfortunately both my employers do not give me any paid vacation time. My story is not unique, because today in US around 60% of part-time workers don’t receive paid vacation benefits.

...Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
Good morning everybody.
Honorable our teacher, and my beloved brothers and sisters,
First of all let’s say thanks to the Almighty Allah SWT who has given us His mercy and blessing, and also His chance so that we can attend to this place to do our activity. We also do not forget to send our great respect to our prophet Muhammad SAW, the last messenger in this world who told us the truth as our guidance in this life.
My beloved brothers and sisters,
Today I’d like to tell you about Education because we know that education is a very important thing in our life. In this good chance, I’m going to deliver my speech which has title “Improving The Quality of Education in Indonesia”.
My beloved brothers and sisters,
A country without a well structured educational system is doomed because education is the key to any form of development in a country. Education in Indonesia is primarily the responsibility of the Ministry of National Education of Indonesia. According to the Indonesian Constitution, all citizens must undertake nine years of compulsory education, six years at elementary level and three in junior high school. The constitution also notes that education in Indonesia is divided into two major parts, formal and non-formal.
Since our independence in 1945, our Government has steadily made efforts to improve and expand our education system. Over the years, significant efforts have been made...

...but this provides a real fire hazard. Heat your oil to 350F (180C). A thermometer makes this part fool-proof, and you can monitor the heat to make sure it stays in this prime frying range. I like to use a scrap of donut first to test different frying times. Carefully place the donuts in the oil. Cook on each side for about one minute. Use chopsticks to flip the donuts and remove them from the oil. Place donuts on a rack or paper bags or paper towels to drain. Now is the time to take your donuts into a magical dimension. Dip them in the glaze and set them on a rack to dry. I dipped both sides of my donuts in the glaze, but you can just do one if you would like.
So in conclusion as you can see Yes it will take some time. Yes you will need your patience and your thinking cap on. Baking is not always easy but I can say this it is rewarding. For me to see family smile while they ate these doughnuts was a reward all in its own. These donuts are simply amazing. Once you try them, you're going to want to make them again and again. In fact, I woke up the next morning craving them, and I can assure you, they're still good the second day. A little piece of history about the doughnut in Paul R. Mullins book he wrote one of our popular doughnut eateries Krispy Kreme to be exact. Started when they used their last $25 to rent a building. With little money left to buy ingredients he borrowed and used his last to make Krispy Kreme what it is today. Thank...
